Curriculum Structure

Program Overview & Learning Outcomes

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering covers structural analysis, geotechnical mechanics, water resources, and transportation systems for infrastructure design and construction careers.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the baccalaureate curriculum, graduates will:

Design civil infrastructure systems—including structural frames, foundations, transportation networks, and hydraulic conduits—meeting performance and safety standards.
Characterize soil mechanics, civil materials, and environmental water quality through standardized laboratory testing and field investigation.
Apply geospatial survey principles, computational programming, and finite element modeling to analyze civil engineering projects.
Manage multidisciplinary infrastructure projects incorporating environmental permitting, regulatory compliance, life-cycle costs, and ethical responsibility.
